Project (n+1): a Haunted Rover production

[hairnet]

True. I had to park some of my teenage shitheaps down by the football grounds because they were declared non

boucher road?

[JohnK]

I've been to see Rob today too.

 

Good for these two to be reunited at Cambridge services !!

[hairnet]

nobody ever dis french cars on here again

[Datsuncog]

boucher road?

Clandeboye Road! You may infer my locale from your knowledge of underperforming Irish League teams...

[RobT]

I've been to see Rob today too.

 

Good for these two to be reunited at Cambridge services !!

 

Oh FFS, for a moment there I thought you needed one too.

 

I've got a massive headache now, been worrying about the Rover and ZX all day.  There was me thinking I'd fixed the Honda engined maladies.

all of them

 

BANGORRRRR!!!!!!!!

 

pickle fun park ftw helens bay ftw

 

cultra not so since they put the prices up

[Ghosty]

I don't believe this. I'm in Peebo - AA bloke said he saw four people taking photos of it in Cambs.

[JohnK]

That will have been me, RichBraith from here and our mate Chris.

 

Dunno who the 4th person was !

[rantingYoof]

Would photograph.

 

Good luck with whatever the plan is evolving into!

[SierraMikeHotel]

This is the most epic collection thread of EVAH.  To be fair, the last Rover I owned spent more time on the back of recovery trucks than it did being driven...

 

Hope RobT isn't feeling too guilty, I can guarantee that the Rover made it up Detling Hill under its own power, without boiling over, which is again more than my old Rover ever managed.

ROB IS SWISS TONI AND BREWER ALL ROLLED INTO ONE

[Ghosty]

Having a break from driving to eat.

Fiesta isn't that bad tbh. Fairly comfy, user friendly, decent stereo etc. Has a speed limiter in place of cruise.

Think it's a CVT but not sure. No idea what spec or engine it is, shall find out later.

[Ghosty]

Alright place to be really.

[trigger]

It's a 1.0 Ecoboost 100bhp Zetec apparently.

 

[SiC]

Isn't that one of those powershit boxes that kack themselves after 40k?

[Jim Bergerac]

Should be the PowerShit dual clutch job in that Fiesta, I think.

[SierraMikeHotel]

Can I swap my mum for your mum?

[Ghosty]

Oh, double clutch! I did wonder if it was one of those, it had paddles on the steering wheel but I know some CVTs have fake gears. 

Was alright anyway.

 

I am now home, after a thankfully uneventful trip up the A1 in a decidedly acceptable Fiesta. 

 

I last saw the GTi in the car park of Peterborough services, the AA man having left it there for another to pick up.

 

Mum is taking the Fiesta back to Enterprise in the morning, then when the GTi finally gets here, my street will become the location for the world's first real-life game of Rush Hour:

 

[Ghosty]

I don't think I could have been wearing a more appropriate shirt today.

The design on the pocket is a sick Pac-Man ghost.

I'm sorry to hear the car FTP'd, but thank you for another five star collection thread, Ghosty!

[Guest Hooli]

Good FTP. Would read again. 416/400

[New POD]

Whilst at the pub, my uncle has offered me a mystery carrier bag containing records that I'm welcome to for free. I'm intrigued to see what's in it, as he has pretty good taste...

knowing uncles, they'll probably all the Shiite scratched records that he hates.

Probably includes best of Wham, and something by S Cunt 7

 

It wont include any singles by The Lurkers.

[SierraMikeHotel]

*sigh* Just for the avoidance of any doubt, I meant because she's being incredibly patient and helpful when things are going wrong. Sorry Ghosty.

[taxi paul]

Well done ghosty. Good luck with it all. Now it's up north pour some gravy over the engine and see if it helps it to aclimitise to it's new surroundings.

[Ghosty]

Still at work but just got a text, the car has been delivered.

Unloaded round the corner on flat ground, rolled down the hill and on to the drive.

[DSdriver]

Perhaps we should have a shiters cars on relay wagons photo thread? 

[New POD]

*sigh* Just for the avoidance of any doubt, I meant because she's being incredibly patient and helpful when things are going wrong. Sorry Ghosty.

Just for the avoidance of doubt that was exactly what my (now removed) post meant. Even if i was suggesting that ghosty could become my favourite step son after a very short engagement.

Mothers? Ain't they great.

[Ghosty]

Don't worry, no offence taken!

[Ghosty]

Good morning all.

 

Current sitrep: battery is completely dead.
